We have no business in that cess pool. Not under Clinton, and not under Bush either.
They want to slaughter each other from now until the end of time?
Let them.

Absolutely.....we can't help people who don't want to be helped. I say get our guys out of there and let them fight until their hearts content!

I love the job GWB has done with foreign policy, but if one single Marine dies in Haiti, I will never forgive him. We have no interests there, and I don't care enough to sacrifice American blood for it.
To: Possenti
One difference is that Clintoon imposed a bloodthirsty Marxist on Haiti...

Guy Philipe announced: "I'm not taking any pressure from anyone, only from the Haitian people." In an ill-tempered victory press conference, he declared himself "military chief", "commandant general", head of the resistance and, at one point, simply "the chief".When Mr. Philipe gets out in front of his armed thugs and leads a charge on the Marines, I will take him seriously enough to send flowers to his services. As it is he seems to be ranting against the "whites" just like some of our leaders do and for the same reasons.

Arestide is gone, pull our troops out. That whole turd world country isn't worth one American Soldier's life.

Not that I would accuse Reuters but check those "Special Forces" out. Old shots of Aristides private security maybe? (Excellent sig by the way.)

Unfortunately, I agree with you (not that agreeing with you is necessarily a negative thing!).
Then again, that philosophy is not a bad one to have with some parts of the world. How much $$, support, and other aid can you give to one of these holes before we get a clue that the natives are not capable of civil government? Thus, if they refuse to act in a civil manner, let them rot. Our pockets are not bottomless, our patience is not endless, and quite frankly, we have much more pressing issues to deal with that this cesspool.

Looks like he's read all of Baby Doc's old memos.

We have to stay until the situation stablizes (a highly relative term) to counter the claims (swallowed and repeated by the black caucus and others) that that the US fomented the rebellious unrest (I wonder how?) and then kidnapped a reluctant Aristide just as he was to make a noble last stand.

We may indeed. Between 1956 and 1985, the US government issued over one million entry visas to Haitians....

After saving Aristide's butt, he back stabbed us ROYALLY! WHY IN THE HECK ARE WE THERE ANYWAY? GET OUT, GET OUT AND LET THE FROGS handle it!! NOW!

Why has Maxine and Jesse suddenly gone quiet? Or, have I missed their ravings?
